Antioxidants are cells found in Vegetables like Tomatoes and Brocoli and what they do is when orally taken by a human help to neutralise free radicals in the body. Free radicals are harmful entities in the body that rage around colliding into the healthy cells in the body and cause degeneration of the cells which in turn cause ageing which makes a human grow old and elderly. Oxygen also causes free radicals to rage even more and cause damage.
